IMPROVEMENT IN PUMPS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY GONCERN:

Be it known that I, HIRAM TYLER, of Gaines, in the county of Orleans, and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Pumpsg and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference beinghad to theaccompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

The present invention consists in the combination, with the pumping-tube of the pump, of 'a chamber or reservoir, having more than one outlet, with a valve or valves so arranged as to open or close either one or more of thc said outlets, and thus, through any suitable pipes or tubes connected therewith, enable the water to be conducted oii' to any desired locality, or discharged from an ordinary pump-nozzle or. spout, as may be p, desired, and in the peculiar construction of the plunger, as will be hereinafter more fully described. Inv the accompanying plate of drawings my improvements in pumps are illustrated- Figure 1 being a view and elevation of one side of a pump constructed according thereto.

Figure 2, a central vertical section taken in the plane of the line .'c, iig. 1.

Figure 3, a section through the chamber or receptacle attached to the discharge or pumping-tube of the pump; and t Figures 4, 5, and 6, views in detail of the separate parte of the plungers to tbe pumping-cylinders.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

A A, in the drawings, represent the pumping-cylinders or barrels, placed side by side, and open at their lower ends B B, but with their upper ends closed, communicating, through an opening, C, for each cylinder, i

with a chamber or box, D, on the upper side. E, the plungers to the cylinders A, each of which plungers is made in three parts or sections, F, Gr, and H, placed one :upon another, with the centre or intermediate part G made of leather or other similar material, but with the outer head made of a cup-shaped plat'or disk, having a series of openings, I, between which, upon the upper side of the disk, the leather is confined, by means of the upper or inner section, which is made of' an arm or prong-shape, the several parts being connected together, in the order above mentioned, by means of nut L upon the rod K to the plungers, and each part being shown separate or detached in figs. 4; 5, and 6.0i' the drawings. The rods K to the plungers are hung or pivoted to a cross rocker-beam, M, arranged to swing upon a fulcrum or centre-pin of the under side of the cylinders A, and at equal distances from .the said centre-pin. This beam M, at its outer end, is connected, through reds N, with a common rocking-beam, O, at or near the upper end of the dischargetube P to the pump, which beam is provided with a lever-handle, Q, or other suitable means lfor operating it. The'discharge-tube P connects at its lower en'd with the chamber above the pumping-cylinders. Q2, a chamber or receptacle attached to dischargetube P at or near theupper end, which chamber is provided with two openings, Rand S, the one communicating with the clischarge-nozzle or spout T, while with the otherf a pipe or tube may be connected, for conveying the water olf to any point desired. In this receptacle Q a double valve-plate, V, is hung, so as to swing upon a support, V2., this plate being bent into such a shape that when in a position to close one of the openings from the chamber the other part will be open. W, a knob, connected by wire X with valve-plate V, .for operating and swinging the same.

The water, in passing from the pump-cylinders to the chamber, lifts the leather packingdisk over the port, which packing-disk, between the ports, has an opening, Z, made in it, for the water then to pass through.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-' l A i y y 1. The construction and arrangement of the receptacle Q2, having separate openings R S, supported upon tho chamber D by the tube P, thedouble bent valve-plate V, swinging upon the support V2, and connected by 'the wire X, passing through the tube P, with the operating knob W, as herein set forth, for the purpose specified. 2. The plunger E, constructed asdescribed, consisting of the central elastic packing G, clamped between the prong-shaped plate H and the perforated disk F, as herein setrforth, for the purpose specified. 7

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 1st day of March, 1867. v
